Health
Care in the remote and riverine villages of Sunderbans is a perpetual
problem over the years. Despite best effort from Government, the
health care services could not be made available in all the marooned
villages. SHIS under the able leadership of Wohab and Sabitri started
grass root level Mobile Health Care Service at the village level
and refer the patients to appropriate large hospital. The work was
being executed with the sole effort of SHIS. |

In
recognition to SHIS’s effort, World Bank extended their hands to
stand by for this noble activity. SHIS acknowledges with gratitude
the assistance rendered by Word Bank through Government of West
Bengal Health System Development Project II, without whose active
support such a Herculean task could have not been undertaken. A
total of Rs. 77 Lacs was utilized for providing Mobile Health care
Service in both the districts of 24 Parganas of West Bengal. |
